# ACK-3D Library
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Source code for the latest version of the ACK-3D library (at least, at the time of publishing of
|
||
|
|
Lary Myer's book, "Amazing 3-D Games Adventure Set" in 1995) back-ported to DOS. Windows
|
||
|
|
compatibility has not been kept. A Watcom `makefile` has been added, replacing a build script for
|
||
|
|
Lary's custom `MK.EXE` build tool.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Requirements
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To build, you will need Watcom C++ and Borland TASM. I used Watcom C++ 10.0a and Borland TASM 4.0,
|
||
|
|
but you should be able to build with newer versions (maybe even _slightly_ older versions too).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Building
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Within this directory, run
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
> wmake
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This will build using the included `makefile` using a debug build settings.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To build using a release configuration:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
> wmake target_config=release
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In either case, you should get an output artifact `ACKLIB.LIB` on successful build.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Compiler Settings Note
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Of particular note is that `/zp1` is specified for both debug and release builds. This matches
|
||
|
|
Lary's original build scripts but is also a requirement as some things in the code make
|
||
|
|
assumptions that might not hold true for larger alignment settings (e.g. `/zp4`). Change this
|
||
|
|
at your own risk!
